Classic Calligraphy, from the new Iskra Design Instagram

Classic book cover lettering by Iskra Design

I am loving the creative community on Instagram and enjoying posting there each week. So much inspiration, so many incredible ways to approach typography and lettering, from all over the world. Here is some classic calligraphy from a book cover, which I was inspired to reformat for the Instagram square. Thinking of brocade drawing rooms, where women in lavish skirts might lean against the wall with a glass of sherry and a plate of figs and watercress, demurely reading Balzac.
